Here's something I'd like to discuss....

I have problems with the word "douchebag." I know that it's pejorative and that it is an acceptable insult, but to me, it's a bit out there. Why should I want to call someone something that has to do with cleaning a vagina? I'm not really in favour of the process of douching, since it seems pretty pointless, but the term "douche" or "douchebag" has always irritated me.

Does anyone else think that this insult is fairly sexist? Am I the only one who feels this way?

It is sexist when you stop and think about it. But, it doesn't really bother me that much. I do love the idea of using dick-spritz and might start slipping that into my vocabulary.

Personally, I just like calling people (men/women) a "wanker".

That said, I call tend to use the phrase "dumbass motherfucker" more than I probably should.
